Architecture: Database for complex datasets (Grakn.ai)

https://grakn.ai/pages/overview/index.html

Quoting:
"Introduction to GRAKN.AI

GRAKN.AI is the database for AI. It is a hyper-relational database for knowledge-oriented systems. Grakn enables machines to manage complex data that serves as a knowledge base for cognitive/AI systems.

For an application to be more intelligent, it needs to know more. To know more, an application needs to collect more information. When collecting and integrating more information, the resulting dataset becomes increasingly complex.

What makes a dataset complex?

Data models make datasets complex. Real world models are filled with hierarchies and hyper-relationships, but our current modelling techniques are all based on binary relations. Querying these legacy datasets is challenging, because query languages are only able to retrieve explicitly stored data, and not implicitly derived information.

GRAKN.AI is the database solution for working with complex data that intelligent applications rely on. Grakn allows an organisation to grow its competitive advantage by uncovering hidden knowledge that is too complex for human cognition. The data model can evolve as a business “learns” all while reducing engineering time, cost and complexity."
